Cinematic Rendering in medical imaging

Revolutionary, photo-realistic medical imaging

Create unique photorealistic clinical images with the revolutionary Cinematic Volume Rendering Technology1

Cinematic volume rendering technology (cVRT) revolutionizes medical imaging. It provides photorealistic and interactive 3D visualization of multi-modal imaging data. 

Our cutting-edge Cinematic Rendering technology lets you create hyper-realistic representations of fractures, organs, or the structure of the finest blood vessels. This can help improve communication with patients and healthcare professionals and ultimately help to make more informed diagnoses and treatment decisions.

Features & Benefits

Create jaw-dropping clinical images with one click

Make communication with referrers and patients clear and convincing. With our revolutionizing Cinematic Rendering, you can make your case look like something from an anatomy textbook. For education, publication, and communication, cVRT means that it is now time to showcase your cases.

Cinematic VRT – the technology

Cinematic Rendering enables uses a significantly more complex illumination model, which integrates numerous light- scattering, absorption, shadowing effects and high dynamic range. This is important for visual perception of anatomical details in the everyday environment making the images very realistic within seconds. Furthermore, there is the possibility to create case-specific, automated Cinematic Rendering results2 with optimized & self-contained visualization – directly send to PACS without manual interaction.

Cinematic Rendering for Surgery

Cinematic Rendering speeds up and improves the understanding of complex anatomical situations. It enhances preoperative and intraoperative decision making.
Cinematic Rendering was tested as a prototype in an evaluation study at the Department of Surgery at the University Hospital Erlangen, Germany. The group compared the ability of surgeons to choose the best operating strategy by clearly presenting the relative position of tumor tissue and blood vessels prior to operating. The researchers found that cinematic rendered CT images allowed clinicians to understand patient anatomy more quickly and with a greater degree of accuracy than conventional CT. It enabled the surgeons to complete the task with higher accuracy in roughly half the amount of time and suggest the technique also benefit surgical planning and decision-making.
